‘I didn’t see Marcus kick up a stink about it so Marcus was comfortable about giving him the penalty,’ the ex-United striker told talkSPORT.

‘We are talking about Paul missing a penalty when the goalkeeper makes a very, very good save.

‘I get on well with Gary Neville, but when people start talking about treachery and all that… come on, this is a sport. Let’s get real. We love football but when we start talking on those levels, he left me scratching my head a little bit.

‘He didn’t do it on purpose. The goalkeeper made a very good save. Yes, Marcus scored a penalty against Chelsea the week before but if Marcus was comfortable and Paul was comfortable we have to get on with it and move on.’

Cole believes Pogba will be hurting on the inside following his penalty miss away to Wolves.

‘Of course it can affect you because we’re human,’ Cole added.

‘People think “ah, he’s earning all this money, he should be able to accept it and get on with it”. But it doesn’t work like that.

‘Behind closed doors, it does hurt. You are no different to anybody else. You are human and when people say certain things about you, it bitterly disappoints you. There’s no doubt Paul will be bitterly disappointed.

Asked whether Rashford was annoyed that Pogba took United’s penalty at Molineux, Solskjaer replied: ‘No, but don’t be surprised if Marcus or Paul scores the next one so absolutely no fighting amongst them.

‘We are disappointed we didn’t win the game, but the talk is more different when you don’t get a result.’
